English, history, social sciences and the fine arts. At UAB,these state-mandated core curriculum classes take up more than a quarter (36/128) of the creditsthat are required for an engineering degree, but most are entirely unrelated to the students’chosen area of study. Meanwhile, engineering departments across the country wrestle with howto address necessary issues like communication, ethics and sustainability in their curriculumwithout sacrificing existing technical content. One possible solution is to partner with thehumanities faculty who are teaching required core classes to create new courses that betterengage students and help them understand the relevance of the other disciplines to their work andidentity as engineers.The history of

extensiveexperience in focus group facilitation. All aspects of this study received ethics approval throughthe institution’s delegated ethics review process. Two focus groups, of four first-year studentseach, were conducted, each lasting approximately one hour. Students were asked theirimpression of each RLO and encouraged to discuss their opinions of each activity including pros,cons and areas for improvement. Each session was audio recorded.The inclusion criterion was enrollment in MSE101, the introductory materials science andengineering course being taught in the Winter 2014 semester at the University of Toronto.Students were not required to have used the RLO. Students were asked to participate on avoluntary basis only.In addition to the audio recording

by an Academy programadvisor, and HCC students are required to enroll in a prescribed set of courses that are alignedwith transfer to the College of Engineering. As part of the Engineering Academy program, allengineering courses offered at the participating community colleges are taught by Texas A&MCollege of Engineering faculty. Based on student academic performance while at the communitycollege, they have an opportunity to transfer directly into the College of Engineering at the endof their first or second year of study. These are highly motivated students and display a strongwork ethic. Six students from the Academy were accepted into the 2015/2016 REEMS academic yearprogram, twelve accepted into the 2016/2017 REEMS program
